The Poor Clares of New Jersey

We, the Poor Clares of Chesterfield, New Jersey, as daughters of Clare and Francis, joyfully embrace the Gospel Way of life.

Aware of the call to ongoing surrender and conversion, we seek the Holy Spirit's guidance in prayer and sacrifice as we hold the Church and the World in our hearts.

By nurturing a contemplative atmosphere in our community, we hope to mirror God's abiding presence and love for all people.

"We will go to the House of the Lord” Psalm 122

Most high, glorious God,
enlighten the darkness of my heart.
and give me, Lord,
a true faith,
a certain hope,
a perfect charity,
sense and knowledge,
so that I may carry out your holy and true will.
